"Well, that’s fine. You waste your money on a Mustang or a Ferrari. The fact is that if you want a sports car, the MX-5 is perfect. Nothing on the road will give you better value. Nothing will give you so much fun. The only reason I’m giving it five stars is because I can’t give it 14"

I had a look at the new 5 yesterday, so much plastic, why do they need to put so much plastic on it.

to make it cheaper to build and recyclable . Have a look at the price of the new one and the price of the mk1 when new , and now factor in the engineering of a safer bodyshell airbags equipment people demand etc etc , my mk1 was 17k ish when new and has feck all fitted.
